@abccanberra What. A. Treat. to talk to @Valentine702 about the saxophone, and some of his favourite sax playing. Spoiler alert... Baker Street was, uh, not on the list.

We're having transmitter issues disrupting 666AM at @abccanberra (no doubt caused by this FULL ON rain!)

It's not something we can do anything about ourselves, I'm sorry.

But digital radio, online, or the ABC Listen app should be working fine! 🤞😬🙃

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has ordered the Commonwealth to drop the prosecution of lawyer Bernard Collaery, four years after he was charged with leaking classified information about an alleged Australian spying operation in East Timor.

[ABC Canberra @abccanberra]

Mr Collaery was charged in 2018 for allegedly helping his client, an ex-spy known only as Witness K, to reveal details of the classified ASIS mission. The Canberra lawyer was facing the prospect of jail with his trial date set for October 24 in the ACT Supreme Court.
